<h1>Raw data file import</h1>

<h2>Supported file formats</h2>
<p>
MZmine 2 can read and process both low-resolution (unit mass) and high-resolution (exact mass) 
data in both continuous and centroided modes, including fragmentation (MS<sup>n</sup>) scans.
</p>

<p>
Supported raw data formats are:
</p>

<ul>
<li><b>mzML</b> (version 1.0 and 1.1)</li>
<li><b>mzXML</b> (versions 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0)</li>
<li><b>mzData</b> (versions 1.04 and 1.05)</li>
<li><b>NetCDF</b></li>
<li><b>Thermo RAW</b> (native data format)</li>
<li><b>Waters RAW</b> (native data format)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Native data format support</h2>

<p>
The support for native data formats is implemented using a small external program, 
which runs only on Microsoft Windows. On Linux or other platforms, MZmine will
attempt to execute the external program through the Windows emulator 
<a href="http://www.winehq.org">Wine</a>, so you can try to install it.
